Alexandria,
Egypt: On the
seashore, a tourist draws a sketch of the French consulate. He is
arrested by an unclear police officer: it is strictly prohibited to
make drawings of the French consulate… Through his eyes of art
historian and with the sophistication of 19th century travelers, the
author composes this true and totally unrealistic story with colorful
characters reminding various references including Rembrandt, Hugo Pratt
and William Burroughs.
